Niklewicz is a Physical Therapist with a Doctorate in Health Science. In addition to being a health care professional, he is a teacher and national lecturer. The book he has written is the end product of stories he has heard since he was a boy. The private spoken memories of his grandmother and mother over the years not only intrigued him, but the family as a whole. Taping his mother’s stories, many of which she was reluctant to tell, caused a stark awakening in him about how fragile life is, and how close fate came to ending his mother’s existence seventy years earlier.
Robert researched and reassembled the chronicle of a bleak time using his skill as a teacher to guide the reader through this incredible story. He is able to bring the intensity of the physical stresses with the psychological challenges for the Millers in a way that the reader could almost experience themselves.
As thousands of survivors of the Second World War die each day from the burdens of age, it became a cause to put his connection with history on paper. As a physical therapist, he had the great privilege to hear bits and pieces of other people’s stories during the course of his work with the elderly. Each story was a jewel unto itself that if untold, would disappear with the soul that experienced it. He could not imagine the sadness he and his family would feel if their own incredible history would be lost as well. This is a true family story to share, his to tell so others will not forget.
